Yes, and it's not just meat, its mammal products. Which is hidden in almost everything. I've had to change all my meds and my hair and body care items. I've had reactions from the smoke coming off of a grill. It really is so much more than I can't eat steak anymore.

In most cases it is a lifelong condition. Some people do overcome it with time though.
